Disagree. There would be no computer science without philosophy (but not the other way around).

If we eliminate philosophy from our curriculum, et cetera, I poise that kids entering high school this year will be obsolete by the time they have graduated. Because CS without philosophy is really just machine learning, right?



That's a fair point. I was already regretting my agreement with that notion.
